Roseane: ABC

The "Roseanne" reboot was the most popular series on television in 2018, but was canceled after one season of ten episodes when Roseanne Barr tweeted a racist joke. ABC created a spinoff, "The Conners," which killed off Roseanne Barr's character and follows the adventures of the rest of the Conner family.

"House of Cards" ended after six seasons following sexual assault allegations against star Kevin Spacey. The series fired the actor and killed off his character in the final season.

Megyn Kelly Today: NBC

When Megyn Kelly moved to NBC from Fox News, she was supposed to be the networks' big news star. Instead, her show "Megyn Kelly Today" was canceled after one year following Kelly's comments in defense of blackface which sparked an uproar.

CBS's surveillance drama was prematurely ended after sexual harassment allegations were lodged against its star, Jeremy Piven (from his time on HBO's series "Entourage"). It aired only 13 episodes before being canceled.

Despite a disappointing first season, the Tina Fey-produced sitcom received a second season on NBC. However, the ratings did not improve, and the comedy was canceled despite some positive reviews from critics.

Comedy Central continued to try to find a replacement to "The Colbert Report" with this conspiracy spoofing series. "The Opposition" lasted for nine months on Comedy Central. Jordan Klepper is working on a new series that will take him out into the field more often.

The romantic drama was originally renewed for a second season. However, OWN reversed the decision and canceled it after one season when allegations of domestic abuse emerged against the showrunner and creator.
